近兩年,有一只日本柴犬在網(wǎng)上很有名。聊天工具里有以它為主題的表情包,社交網(wǎng)站上有專門為它設(shè)的標(biāo)簽話題,它還有專屬的社交網(wǎng)站賬號。什么?你沒聽說過?
Doge is an Internet meme that became popular in 2013. The meme typically consists of a picture of a Shiba Inu accompanied by multicolored text in Comic Sans font in the foreground. The text, representing a kind of internal monologue of the dog, is deliberately written in a form of broken English, such as ‘such dignified’ or ‘a(chǎn)maze.’
Doge(神煩狗)是2013年流行起來的一個網(wǎng)絡(luò)熱潮,主要內(nèi)容是一張日本柴犬的照片表面添加Comic Sans字體顯示的各種顏色的文字。這些文字被認(rèn)為是圖中柴犬的內(nèi)心獨(dú)白,通常都用一些蹩腳的英語來表示,比如,such dignified,或者amaze之類的。
On Tumblr, in addition to the captioned photos, the “doge” tag often contains images of a Shiba Inu whose facial features have been manipulated.
在Tumblr上,人們除了傳播以doge為標(biāo)簽的圖片以外,還會發(fā)一些人為加工過的柴犬圖片。
Doge uses two-word phrases in which the first word is almost always one of five modifiers ("so", "such", "many", "much", and "very"), and the departure from correct English is to use the modifier with a word that it cannot properly modify. For example, "Much respect. So noble." uses the doge modifiers but is not "proper" doge because the modifiers are used in a formally correct fashion; the doge version would be "Much noble, so respect." In addition to these phrases, a doge utterance often ends with a single word, most often "wow" but with "amaze" and "excite" also being used.
“神煩狗”的獨(dú)白通常包含兩個詞,第一個詞基本上會是so, such, many, much和very當(dāng)中的一個,與標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語不同的是,神煩狗通常會用這些詞來形容那些它們不應(yīng)該形容的詞。比如,much respect和so noble看起來形式上像是神煩狗的表達(dá)方式,但卻不是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的神煩狗模式,因?yàn)檫@兩個表達(dá)都太正確了,神煩狗會說“much noble,so resprce”。除了兩個詞的短語之外,神煩狗還會在句末加一個感嘆詞,最常用的是wow,amaze和excite也經(jīng)常用到。
*背景*
這只可愛的柴犬叫Kabosu(かぼす,一種類似于日本柚子的水果,果汁很酸卻有種獨(dú)特的芳香,經(jīng)常被用作烤魚或生魚片的調(diào)料),曾經(jīng)被主人棄養(yǎng),還差點(diǎn)遭到安樂死,2008年11月被現(xiàn)主人——日本一位幼兒園的老師Atsuko Sato收養(yǎng),生活才有了轉(zhuǎn)變。
2010年2月23日,主人AtsukoSato在自己的博客上發(fā)布了Kabosu的一系列照片,其中一張照片中,柴犬倚靠在沙發(fā)上,前爪相疊,側(cè)身瞪眼豎起眉毛,傳神的表情令人忍俊不禁,照片迅速在美國的Reddit(美國最大的網(wǎng)上社區(qū))和Tumblr(輕博客)等網(wǎng)絡(luò)圈走紅,最終出現(xiàn)在“柴犬的自白”(ShibaConfessions)博客中。
